A LEVEL RESULTS 2016

And over at Huddersfield New College in New Hey Road, Salendine Nook, the congratulations banners and balloons were out to mark the occasion and the best ever results.

James Sowerby, of Oakes, said: “I got a B in English Language, a B in psychology and Distinction* in Sports Science.

“I am going to Liverpool John Moores to study Sports Science.

“I’m pleased, I got what I needed for my place.”

And it will be a double celebration in the Kittsen (correct) household as twins Coby and Megan collected their results and will be heading separate ways to pursue their careers.

Coby said: “We’ve chosen very different subjects. I’m going to the University of Central Lancashire in Preston to study Sports Science and Megan is going to Huddersfield University to study Interior Design.

Megan added: “It will be strange to be apart. When we were looking at universities I wanted to stay close to home and Coby won’t be too far away in Preston.”

Fellow student Abrahim Djordjeuic, of Birkby, is also heading across the Pennines but to study Bio Chemistry at Manchester University.

“I got an A* in maths and Bs in psychology and chemistry. I actually got higher than my predicted grades so I’m really pleased.”

Principal at New College Angela Williams said: “Students are making more informed decisions of both universities and courses. They are looking at rankings and employability as its a huge financial investment in their future.

“There has been a shift in demand for university places and this is allowing students more options particularly given rising tuition fees.”
